Banda de asaltantes operaria en carretera Puerto Peñasco – Sonoyta
Ha trascendido que una banda de asaltantes se encuentra realizando asaltos a vehículos que viajan sobre la carretera Puerto Peñasco – Sonoyta, despojándolos de todas sus pertenencias, tal como sucedió la mañana de ayer donde un grupo de personas que viajaban de regreso a Peñasco fue asaltada y despojadas de sus pertenencias y vehículo, incluyendo una batanga que contenía muebles y artículos de segunda comprados en Estados Unidos.
Se llama a toda la población que deba viajar sobre dicha carretera a que extreme precauciones y reporte a las autoridades cualquier sospecha de vehículos actuando de manera extraña.
Plant worker Raiders band roadside Puerto Penasco - Sonoyta has transcended to a band of robbers is conducting raids on vehicles travelling on the road to Puerto Penasco - Sonoyta, stripping them of their belongings, as happened the morning of yesterday where a group of people travelling back to Penasco was assaulted and stripped of their belongings and vehicle, including a batanga containing furniture and second items purchased in the United States.
Called the entire population who must travel on this road to extreme precautions and to report to the authorities any suspected car acting strangely.
Wait and see, we've heard this before through the years and it wasn't true.
Sort of sounds wrong...they robbed a truck load of junk when they could have waited and gotten a really nice red Jeep Cherokee? Maybevthe Green Angels need to mount a 50 on the back. El ángel de la muerte verde
Is this the same group of bandits that our parents warned us about as kids? Posing as police and pulling you over for "speeding", then robbing you of your belongings and any cash you may have.
How are you supposed to tell the diff between a real or fake police car in mexico while on the road to PP.
It reads to me that a local carrying his stuff back from the US to sell in Mexico was robbed of his personal belongings and a trailer full of garage sale merchandise.
It doesn't sound like anything for Americans to be worried about.

I hope that's how it stays. That kind of thing worries me more than random cartel gunfire. There's nowhere to hide on that road and I drive alone sometimes.
Unless it is obviously military or Federals I'm NOT stopping. Foot to the floor and grab the wasp and hornet spray !! They can pick the body parts off the van later.

I hear ya'. Always make sure you drive down in the daylight hours and be aware. This could be a story and nothing else,n but who knows
Lots of kidnappers in the area lately....mine union guy killed last week near Caborca....lots of gangster stuff....if you are broke you are pretty safe

Lets face it..they have run the plaza in Penasco for years too....this new completion has brought underpaid gun men to both cities...then stuff happens..if someone machine guns our place I won't hid the fact from fellow Mexico lovers like the Penasco booster class.

Good idea about the spray. I'm not stopping for anybody!
Jerry lives near. and was talking about Caborca. If you'd like to bash Penasco . go for it Jim . but I was only stating facts. I, like yourself. love Penasco. yet lately you seem to be skeptical about everything. I'd bet Jerry could get u a good price on a place in Santo Tomas.

It sounds like it would be much safer in Penasco. Hmmm?

I am more aware of this than you may think Jerry. and I know you are right about this and they are not keeping the low profile they have in past years. I still think Penasco and surrounding areas are safe for gringos and I hope no one ever gets hit by the stray bullet. I don't boost tourism in RP but I do have my opinion,

Who wants to bash Penasco, which I believe is no less safe than Caborca? Perhaps it was the 'Hmmm' that threw you?
In spite of the constant Penasco bashing of which I had clearly no part, all of a sudden we have 'breaking' news that not only is Caborca a rougher neighborhood, it is being acknowledged by 'insiders' that Penasco is not far behind, a close second.
Skeptical is what keeps a person from being delusional and making the wrong decision in any situation, not just Mexico.
If I ever want a place in Santo Tomas I have long known where and how to get one.
By the way I if you are referring to my comments regarding Dorado thefts taking place where security was in place, I also was intimately aware of it when it happened which was some time ago.
Just trying to clarify and clear the air.

i know...you always shoot straight ( sorry) and I like you still head south but with less confidence after a few things happened that effected people I know.My neighbor at my ranch nearly beat to death by Sicarios,a friend in AP stalked by a kidnap team,a woodworker friend from Magdalena taken in Nogales and nearly beat to death because he looked like someone else.Again I am just saying people need to really be careful for a while.
This stuff has always gone on in Mexico to Mexicans and most Americans are unaware and always have been. The sicarios are the problem now and I believe u hit the nail on the head saying "underpaid"
Most crime organizations don't take care of the underlings.
